Public bug reported:
Hi,
I have a HP LaserJet 1300. After installation, ubuntu by default chooses
the Foomatic/hpijs driver (marked as 'recommended'). Unfortunately, this
driver crops some millimeters of the letterhead if I print a letter
(made with latex) in european A4 format. The driver seems to be unable
to use the full printing area.
If I choose the postscript printer driver (i.e. send postscript directly
to the printer) the letters are printed correctly, so it is not a matter
of the printer hardware itself. Unfortunately, the internal postscript
interpreter of that printer has some bugs, so it can't print everything.
With some postscript files the printer just crashes. These files need to
be printed with the Foomatic/hpijs driver. Thus I have to toggle the
printer driver several times a day (sort of annoying). Would be nice if
the default driver (footmatic) could print A4 correctly.
Another hint that might be related: I recently visited a friend and
connected my ubuntu notebook with his older HP LaserJet (no idea which
model it was), which was automatically detected and configured. But when
printing a picture, the dithering was rather rough, large visible
dithering. Printing the same picture with the same printer on his
Windows machine produced a much finer, almost invisible dithering.
I guess both problems are related to parameters passed to ghostscript
for convertig postscript into raster data?
regards
